P. T. Womack, who stands indicted
by the grand jury of the Hastings

Lodge Of Red Men of s354, has been
arrested in Baltimore, where the Dis
patch several days ago stated he was

Rev. John G. Anderson, of Williams

Car1iDeton Stowe, the negro man
who was indicted for assaulting Miss
Mary Roach and whose case was post
poned until the next term of the
court, succeeded in escaping from jail
Sunday night. About II o'clock Depu-
ty-Sergeant Fisher went into the prison
with a sanitary official Stowe was APP
parently fast asleep on his bed, but
while the Sergeant was talking with the
officer Stowe arose and sprang through
the open door, and fed down the steps
and up Tenth street. He has not been
seen since, and his whereabouts are un-
known. The petit jury which tried
Stowe were unable to agree, and there
was considerable doubt in the minds OF
the people whether there was sufficient
evidence to convict the prisoner, bii
his subsequent action has caused a
strong suspicion Of his guilt.
